I’ve been living with awful prints for a while. I used Red River 68lb Glossy Pro (they don’t make it anymore) and could just never get the profiles to work right. Everything looked so red. This used to work fine on my Windows machines on the same Canon i9900. I…

So Christmas is nearly here, but what is coming in 2012. Some good thoughts for: Android Phones Well they are so popular, I do kind of want to try one. But it is so complicated because of the warious upgrade paths. Heres a good summary of what is happening, but…
